Abstract
The Berlin and Cuban crises constituted a turning point in postwar European history. It soon became widely recognized, especially in the capitals of the two superpowers, that in the age of nuclear and missile technology, war could no longer be an acceptable means of managing relations among European states. Furthermore, it was understood that a relationship of “negative interdependence” between the East and West was a tragic fact of life in the nuclear age. One repercussion of this new knowledge was the more or less hidden acceptance of a new order of priorities in European politics: security superseded justice, at least in the immediate aftermath of the Cuban and Berlin crises.
